Hell just look at the court today, you have two moderates in Kavanaugh and ACB and a liberal in Roberts, all appointed by Republicans.
Um, Ok. If you say so.

I disagree. A pro-abortion stance will automatically remove any candidate for consideration among many people.Abortion seems like a big deal because politicians use it that way. For its part, Democrats must have abortion keep their appeal for the “women’s vote”. Other womens issues are largely resolved. The GOP uses it to keep the evangelicals fired up. But few of us really think abortion is a determining issue.
Pretty ironic that a leftist is using the slippery slope argument.I just caught up here and I’m super confused by Crazy here. He’s complaining about his absolutist position. He’s assuming the other side won’t compromise when he freely admits his side has no interest in compromise.
let’s be clear, the far right pro lifers will not be satisfied if abortion is legal in their neighboring state. They will go after abolishment in every single state. That has always been the objective.
Just join the SECA major downside is that Hoosiers would have to travel out of the country for most Big Ten road games.
Did you read my reply?We really need to stop with the piggish responses to the only female member of the Cooler.
It's not funny, it's beneath us (and that's a very low bar to get under) and all it does is make the poster look like an unhinged, mean spirited, low life sexist pig.
Zeke we need to do a better job calling that shit out.
My bad on that.
Isn't that the exact opposite of the function of a message board?Concern yourself with yourself.
Do you even try to post intelligently or do you simply exist to flame?Anyone else think the 9 justices should probably be given SS protection? These are lifetime appointments after all and liberals are insane. They can't be made to vote out of fear.
Liberal group calls for protests at conservative Supreme Court justices' homes
Activist groups will send protesters to the homes of Supreme Court justices.www.foxnews.com
You keep doubling down on the hostage taker position.
"Do what I want or the kid gets it..."
I know, I know!Do you even try to post intelligently or do you simply exist to flame?
That’s a bogus argument in the case of abortion. The US ConstitutionoThey should have sent those state laws back to the states to fix.
Substitute Trump land for Jesus land and you’re onto something. Trump is the new Jesus, right?
I'm a Democrat and I believe the leak probably came from a liberal/Democrat on the court staff. That makes the most sense to me. I don't see a win for conservatives/Republicans for leaking it and there seem to be more reasons for a Democrat doing it. I'm on the Democratic team but that doesn't mean I think all of our teammates are angels that can do no wrong.Nope, only if it turns out to be a conservative since it's the conservatives on this board (and outside this board from my POV) who are the rabid screamers about it. Obviously jumping to the conclusion that
1. It was a liberal
2. Believing it was a liberal is really why I'm so tilted.
That being said, I recall a gay pride parade or event that someone drove a truck through and we were all 'fvckin Trumpers' at first (I think it turned out to be a car defect).
Anyway, we see red when it involves our political foes.
Good to see you Bing.I'm a Democrat and I believe the leak probably came from a liberal/Democrat on the court staff. That makes the most sense to me.

I agree. I think it was some social justice warrior clerk type. With absolutely no fear of their political future.I'm a Democrat and I believe the leak probably came from a liberal/Democrat on the court staff. That makes the most sense to me.

Command keeps me busy. My people have been working hard and putting in long hours so we had a training day this morning and I let people off this afternoon. Gives me a break too so I had a few minutes to relax and catch up here. I even have time to meet Aloha and a couple of our mutual friends for a scotch or two this afternoon. We haven't had time to do that in months. Back to the grind tomorrow. I see this place hasn't changed a lot but I get some laughs out of some of the posts. On the basketball side we're getting a lot of good news and I'm looking for some good things to happen this season. I like Woodson a lot.Good to see you Bing.
Hope you are well.
There's no good strategic reason for the leak. On either side. Most likely, it was leaked simply because someone was outraged by it.

nah, just pointing out how hypocritical and dumb an absolutist position re: someone else’s family and health issues is
ya say you’re FOR LIFE, but really just in this particular situation. We won’t see you championing suicide awareness or end-life issues or anything like that. Lol. 50 years ago a conservative could still believe abortion was a privacy issue but then the evangelical hijacking happened and the dumbing down began.
what a stance! You don’t have to think, ya just have to yell “baby killers” 🤮
Seems like firing up the Pro-choice troops would be a good reason. The leaker might think the 24 hour coverage of this since the leak and the protests might change the minds of one or two of those leaning toward overturning Roe. I don't think it will but I understand why the leaker might.There's no good strategic reason for the leak. On either side. Most likely, it was leaked simply because someone was outraged by it. Obviously that's probably a liberal.
Do you think before you post? 😂Today, certain types of vasectomies are 99.9% reversible. So maybe we can demand that all boys, at age 14, get a vasectomy. Then it can be reversed upon marriage. No problem, right? What's that you say, you have no right to control my boy's body? Interesting...
That was my first reaction also but the conservative angle seems to be gaining some speculation and like all good conspiracy theories....it makes sense (you have the votes now, you know one or more is waffling, get it out publicly so their name is tied to it in the hopes of sealing it).Seems like firing up the Pro-choice troops would be a good reason. The leaker might think the 24 hour coverage of this since the leak and the protests might change the minds of one or two of those leaning toward overturning Roe.

Cmon Cray, there's a million ways to insult someone. Choosing the most personal, hurtful and insulting, many times without a basic escalation, is frankly just shit posting.Did you read my reply?
Hyperbole:exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally
Why does she need your protection? She is a big girl she comes on here spouting her crap all the time. If she can't handle the response she gathers she can change her posting. If she were the only female but posted from a conservative viewpoint you would have a different take.
Concern yourself with yourself.
Congratulations on making the semi-finals of the "Water Cooler Hypocrite of the Year" award, Tommy!Cmon Cray, there's a million ways to insult someone. Choosing the most personal, hurtful and insulting, many times without a basic escalation, is frankly just shit posting.
There's what, say (and I'm making this up as I go along) 3 levels of insults.
1. Basic and quick reaction to a current situation. Ex: crazy, looney, stupid, head up your ass, dumbass, ignorant, moron, idiot, etc.
Level 2. The semi personal. This tends to attack life choices made by the person but controlled by that person. A free will choice. Ex occupational, political and social beliefs, lifestyle living choices. **Religious (this one is tricky because a claim can be made that religion is such a deep, personal choice that it really falls into level 3).
Level 3: The hateful, mean spirited personal insult. This is simply going after things a person can't control. Ex race, sex (I know, I know), orientation, disability, personal tragedy, religion.
When we dip into level 3 insults, particularly in an un natural escalation...yeah, that's a shit post.
We can be better my brother.
But if it’s one of the 36 clerks that person’s legal career is over. I don’t know if it includes disbarment but I would expect it would. That’s a pretty drastic result. Years of law school and then being one of a very select group.I'm a Democrat and I believe the leak probably came from a liberal/Democrat on the court staff. That makes the most sense to me.

Aren't liberals amazing? I have been called all sorts of things on here . TC seems to not understand or have read her previous postings that brought my hyperbolic reaction. She comes here telling us she is the only woman, spouting all this stuff and when a male reacted, not me, told him his opinion meant absolutely nothing because he was a man. Context! Why come here to run her yap when she is of the opinion its only men and nothing they have to say matters anyway?Congratulations on making the semi-finals of the "Water Cooler Hypocrite of the Year" award, Tommy!
It's tough competition, but you're a strong contender!
You have to give Zeke credit - she's got the leftist talking points down pat. It's her only means of communicating.Aren't liberals amazing? I have been called all sorts of things on here .

Good to know we now have a list giving us the levels of reaction we can and can't use.
Was she one of the hamsters fished out of Richard Gere's rectum?Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.
The 36 clerks would have had the document in February. So it seems that they didn't, with any speed anyway, leak it. One of them could have blabbed to someone else who took it upon himself/herself to get a copy and then leak it. That makes sense to me.But if it’s one of the 36 clerks that person’s legal career is over.
Speaking of letting out your inner pig.Congratulations on making the semi-finals of the "Water Cooler Hypocrite of the Year" award, Tommy!

What used car lot do you work on? Refund! Refund!Cray, you're not a victim. We've all been insulted on here.
There are levels that people will go to, and are always available that plays to the lowest common denominator and those that don't.
It's up to you guys. You can go full pig, leave no doubt and play right into the stereotype that you guys hate to be accused of.....or not.
In deciding whether or not to renounce Roe…does the court take into consideration the extent to which people have come to rely on the freedom guaranteed by the Court’s abortion precedent?nah, just pointing out how hypocritical and dumb an absolutist position re: someone else’s family and health issues is

I'm trying to think, what evil liberal posters goes straight to level 3?What used car lot do you work on? Refund! Refund!
Come on, I at least should get honorable mentionI'm trying to think, what evil liberal posters goes straight to level 3?
Plaxico and TMP?
Hoops to me is more level 2 but tends to stay there.
We all dip into level 2 depending on escalation.
The rest tend to keep it at level 1.
I like the grading system. Now we just need to incorporate into an overall posting score to go along with the reaction score plus to give instant feedback.
Let's tackle our cooler decorum from a data perspective. Give time outs based on data (of course the levels need to be better outlined and easier to measure).
Let's make the cooler great again!!
What about level three insults made in jest? @Rockfish1 used to articulate hilarious but cutting insults that simply had me rolling on the floor laughing.I'm trying to think, what evil liberal posters goes straight to level 3?

Ha ha you definitely don't shy from the confrontation but, in my opinion you rarely if ever go level three.Come on, I at least should get honorable mention
As always, extra credit is given for wit.What about level three insults made in jest? @Rockfish1 used to articulate hilarious but cutting insults that simply had me rolling on the floor laughing.

Dude. There were several posts from you a while back that were incoherent. But your writing has definitely improved (are you using Grammarly or something?) and I haven't called you illiterate in several weeks. (And I've got to think "illiterate" isn't the worst thing you've ever been called).Do you really want to grade all this? OK I will play along, as I say its entertainment vs changing the world. Buttheremails referred to me as a webfingered inbred mutant.
Bowlmania often calls me illiterate and my literacy in posting is generally above about at least 75% of the people on here that can't spell and know the difference from Your and you're. Zeke even fails at some but likes to point it out to others.
Dumb, stupid,a**hole are like water off a ducks back. Hell, I admit to being kind of an asshole. I have a pretty good sense of humor and some people just dont.......Guessing refund went right over your head?
Getting back on point, maybe I am wrong but Zeke comes across as this women are equal on everything 100% except when it is better for women. I am fine with equal, have plenty of women friends and they agree with me. There are just some things in the world that arent equal 99% of the time. Extreme physical labor...........when I was doing construction on my own my best PT employee was a female teacher on break.............. I think women make much better nurses in general although I have a male friend that is one . Equal pay for equal job should be . When I am working on an irrigation system and have two 4 ft pipe wrenches on a fitting and Im hanging on one do I want a 110 lb girl hanging on the other or a 180 lb man?
What I am saying is and IDK, Zeke might even agree with me on this but would never post it. I treat her and her posts the same as anyone else's M or F . I get the whole protective thing. During a being single stretch I had two women I worked around that had relationship issues and had no where to stay that I opened my doors as I had plenty of room they stayed with me for extended periods of time. Maybe you should ask them what level I fit into on your scale? Zeke doesnt need you being her big brother
I will give you kudos on TMP
